European Elegies/Winter/Written in a new cemetery
49.WRITTEN IN A NEW CEMETERY
A carven cross as sacred sentinel
Amid young willows: a new plot, alas,
Planned all too well.
The round earth sees in soil fresh hollows made
In season by the farmer's plough, and here
The sexton’s spade.
From the Czech of Josef Kálal.
